Korelasi antara lingkar pergelangan tangan dan tekanan darah pada dewasa muda
L LATAR BELAKANG:Sebagian kecil dari populasi dewasa muda memiliki tekanan darah melebihi normal, hal tersebut dapat menjadi problematika kesehatan di kemudian hari.Peningkatan tekanan darah pada usia dewasa muda biasanya disebabkan karenaadanya perubahan dari gaya hidup sehingga distribusi lemak meningkat kemudianterjadi peningkatan berat badan disertai dengan peningkatan dari ukuranantropometri. Pada baru ini, terdapat indikator pengukuran antropometri sederhanayaitu lingkar pergelangan tangan. Lingkar pergelangan tersebut dapat menjadiprediktor sederhana terhadap indikasi apakah terdapat peningkatan tekanan darah.TUJUAN :menentukan korelasi antara lingkar pergelangan tangan dan tekanan darah.METODE:Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan cross sectional denganpengambilan sampel secara teknik consecutive non random sampling, sebanyak 39responden dengan kategori usia dewasa muda berusia 26-35 tahun di kelurahanPoris Plawad Indah, kota Tangerang dilakukan pengukuran tekanan darahmenggunakan tensimeter, pengukuran lingkar pergelangan tangan menggunakanpita ukur.HASIL: lingkar pergelangan tangan dan tekanan sistolik kanan r = 0.460 dan kiriberkorelasi sedang r = 0.472, lingkar pergelangan tangan dan tekanan diastolikkanan r = 0.626 dan kiri r = 0.635 berkolasi kuat.KESIMPULAN:Terdapat korelasi positif sedang pada lingkar pergelangan tangan dan tekanansistolik, korelasi positif kuat pada lingkar pergelangan tangan dan tekanan diastolik
B BACKGROUND :There is small population among in young adult population has significantly in highblood pressure , this probably becoming a health problematics for the quality of lifein the future. Increased of blood pressure in among people young adults is usuallycaused by lifestyle change. Highly distribution of fat has followed the body weightincrease and then it will be the increased of antropometric measure. Wristcircumference is an easily obtained to predict it has sign a highly blood pressureindices.AIM :To analyze significantly about the correlation between wrist circumference andblood pressure.METHODS :This study used a cross sectional approach with consecutive non random sampling,there is 39 respondents in the category of young adults aged 26-35 years in the PorisPlawad Indah village, Tangerang city. Blood pressure measured by using atensimeter, wrist circumference was measured by using measuring tape.RESULTS :The correlation between left wrist circumference and systolic pressure wasmoderate positively correlated at r = 0.472, the correlation between left wristcircumference and diastolic pressure was strong positively correlated at r = 0.635.Right wrist circumference and systolic pressure was moderate positively correlatedat r = 0.460, the correlation between right wrist circumference and diastolic pressurewas strong positively correlated at r = 0.626.CONCLUSIONS :There are moderate positively correlated between wrist circumference and systolicblood pressure, strong positively correlated between wrist circumference anddiastolic blood pressure.
